too bad the full video is too big for mastodon because we (the dog and I) were walking next to this homie for a good minute 💓💓💓 eeeeeeeeeee

A masked palm civet walks along the railing of somebody’s fence at night. The video is taken with three times zoom and flash on an iPhone so it’s terrible quality, but you get the gist!

Translator for an agency that I have been working with seems to be using some sort of non-MS word processing software. I get the preference for open source stuff, but there is a reason why Word is the standard for this sort of thing...

Whatever they use randomly spits out extra spaces and protected content fields. This breaks the format throughout the document. Initially, I had thought that the client had been protecting certain phrases... but it was not the case.

@takosix @Magor that’s fair.

It might be that the Libre office has gotten better while Office has gotten worse, so they might be much closer than in the past.

Unfortunately I think I’m stuck with it where I am, but luckily company pays for it, so at least I’m not paying to suffer 😇

A reminder that less than two weeks ago, it was revealed that Trump solicited a $1 billion bribe from the energy industry, offering in return the gutting of environmental regulations.

A week ago, Big Journalism had already consigned this epic scandal to the memory bin.

Had Biden done anything remotely like that, I guarantee that it would still be among the top stories of the day -- and Congress, including Democrats, would be moving toward impeachment.

@Haikyoneko

I guess this is the clip you are referring to?

https://oversight.house.gov/timeline/ukraine-11/biden-firing-ukraine-prosecutor-clip/?lv=true

Though, at least according to fact checkers, it was in the context of international efforts to pressure Ukraine to enforce anti-corruption measures, not to protect Biden’s son 🤷‍♀️

The 🌶️ chili gods performed today.

First time I've seen anything but piman and shishito at the homecenter, and there was just one tiny little basket off in the corner with one type each. Some had crazy scoville numbers, I avoided the 45,000 : )

Proud mom of a Serano, a Pobella, and a ...another (Baquito?)

The place was buzzing 🐝

Today at work, I foolishly clicked the “try new Outlook” button, hoping for a new version less shitty than the old version.

After it installed, it DEMANDED I copy emails to the Microsoft cloud, which violates our data protection policies. No option for local only as far as I could tell.

Luckily I was just able to remove it and go back to the old version with having to contact IT ☺️
